Your Great Highway fight is heading to the Supes

Okay so, big news if you live out in the Sunset or hella appreciate a good drive along the coast: the fight over the Great Highway is heading to the Board of Supervisors. The Sunset Dunes opponents are appealing the court's decision to keep the Great Highway a park, according to a City Hall release from Thursday, April 16th.

This isn't just some niche thing for surfers or folks who miss that shortcut. This has been a hot-button issue, pitting environmentalists and park advocates against residents who really want that road back open for cars. You know, like how it used to be before it became a spot for morning runs and folks pushing strollers.

Here’s the breakdown:

* **Who:** Sunset Dunes opponents. These are generally residents and groups who want the Great Highway reopened to vehicular traffic.

* **What:** They're appealing the San Francisco court decision that kept the Great Highway as a park.

* **When:** The appeal was filed on Thursday, April 16, 2026.

* **Where:** This appeal goes straight to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.

This is a real test for how the City balances open space and transportation needs, especially when you've got sea level rise literally eating away at the coast. What's next? We'll see how the Supes decide to handle this hot potato, and whether they side with the court or push for a change. It's gonna be a hella important vote for the west side of the City.

That's the City, fam — fog, hills, and all.
